Chapter 12
Listening to the old man's words, Gu Qingge felt a little incredible: "Isn't there anyone who comes back alive?"
The old man nodded: "How many people have come back, but they died within a few days. There are no young people in the village now, and Xiao Ai's brother has also died in the insect mountain."
Just at this time, Xiao Ai walked in with the boiled medicine.
"Grandpa, it's time to take medicine."
"Well, let it go there, I'll drink it later." The old man nodded.
"Grandpa Xiao Ai, can we walk around the village?" Gu Qingge asked.
"Go, I'll let Xiao Ai give you the way." The old man seemed a little tired after saying something to them for so long.
"Then grandpa, I'll take them around and see it. Come back soon. You have taken the medicine, don't forget."
"Yeah, go and go."
Gu Qingge and Qiongqi looked at each other, then followed Xiao Ai out of the door.
"What disease did your grandfather get?" Gu Qingge asked,
"When the insect mountain was harassing me, my grandfather had been bitten by insects, and the wounds on his body had never healed. I heard that there are many precious herbs in the insect mountain, so I wanted to find out if there are any herbs for his grandfather to heal his wounds."
Listening to Xiao Ai's words, the two nodded.
"How long has it been?" Gu Qingge asked,
"It happened almost a year ago." Xiao Ai thought for a while and said,
"Are there no medical doctors in your village?"
Xiao Ai thought about it and shook his head: "No, most of the herbs here are supplied from Yunshan, so not all herbs are available."
When Gu Qing heard that the herbs were actually supplied by Yunshan, he couldn't help but feel a little confused: "Then are you alchemists and animal trainers here?"
Xiao Ai nodded: "In the past, there were still many of these masters in our continent, but later when the Insect Mountain appeared, it gradually disappeared. Everyone rumored that they all died in the Insect Mountain."
"So that's what it is..." Gu Qingge frowned.
The group of three people walked around the village. Gu Qingge found that the village looked quite big, but in fact there were not many people living there. Most of them were elderly people and some children living there. Almost no young people were seen, or even no one could be said to have seen them.
Xiao Ai should be considered an exception in this village.
"Xiao Ai, haven't you ever thought about leaving this insect mountain one day and going to the outside world to see it?" Gu Qingge asked,
"Of course I think about it. I think about it every day, but reality does not allow it. People on the mainland here can only live in the barrier. If they leave the barrier, let alone whether they can escape from the Insect Mountain, our bodies will not be allowed to leave the barrier for too long." Xiao Ai looked sad,
"What's the meaning?"
"Although we live in the barrier, we later discovered that the breath released by the insects in the insect mountain has changed our bodies, so we need to rely on the barrier to survive, but on the other hand, we cannot leave the insect mountain." Xiao Ai said that she had tried countless methods to change, but there was no way.
"There is such a strange thing?" Qiongqi asked in disbelief.
Xiao Ai nodded: "So you came from another continent. If there is nothing wrong, it's better to leave here quickly, otherwise you won't be able to get out in the future."
